Private NYC New Years Party with Amanda & The Ensemble

December 11, 2008

HOLA!!!

me & the danger ensemble are going to be presenting a VERY SPECIAL all-new insane new years show!
if you were at webster hall, be prepared, this show is completely different and we’re coming up with some completely ridiculous and beautiful and absurd material for the show.
the bowery ballroom is SMALL (only 550 people, about a third the size of webster hall) so tickets will SELL OUT. plan early, buy them NOW. ms. emilyn brodsky will be opening 2009.

in addition, when I found out that we were playing a LATE slot at the bowery, i wondered what we would actually be doing at midnight.
So me & The Danger Ensemble have decided to have a super-special party for anyone who wants to come, limited to only 58 people, at my friends incredible loft in Williamsburg (brian and i once did a photo shoot for Spin magazine there, it looks like an antique store exploded in the woods).

the tickets for the pre-party will be $100 and that will cover a ticket to the bowery show later that night, champagne at the party, and subway coordination over the bridge to the bowery. i don’t know exactly what we’re going to do, but it will involve weirdness, music, dancing, and possibly naked twister. if you already bought a ticket for the bowery, do not fret, we have $75 tickets that include all of the VIP perks only. we will be doing tickets through paypal’s site but they take all major credit cards so even if you don’t have an account you can still get into the show. to purchase tickets, please send your full name, quantity of tickets, and if you need your payment request sent to another address to nye [AT] amandapalmer [DOT] net. we will then fill the (first) lucky 58 requests and provide payment and party details. please note: there is an 6 ticket limit per person.

here is an example of what your e-mail should look like:
if there are tickets still available when we receive your e-mail, a “PayPal request” will be sent your way. Please fill this request (i.e. pay) within 48 hours or your tickets will be released and offered to the next person in line. Because there are so few slots for this, please only e-mail if you are committed to purchasing the tickets – please don’t take someone else’s chance away to hold tickets just to let them get released again. once you have filled the payment request, we will send you your VIP show ticket(s)…if you order the $100 version because you don’t have a Bowery ticket yet, it will be sent to you with your VIP ticket.

because of the booze and the law, this private event has to be 21+ or we could get in deep shit. but the SHOW ITSELF at the bowery is 18+. no one will be allowed entrance into the pre-party without a photo ID and their bowery ticket. PLEASE don’t forget that.

i wish i lived in new york. dammit. oh well
have fun at your new years show amanda, and take videos or webcasts okay?

love tash

The one in utah wasn’t. It was for all ages.

be

yeah, there are a lot of all-ages shows. it depends on the venue.

siosphere

I’m thinking of it….though I’m in Utah..so it’d cost me about 600 bucks to go see your show….now while it’s worth it to go to NY and see you…i don’t think I could convince anyone else to go with me….haha

Little emma

Amanda, why can’t you be Canadian so this party would be in Toronto? My soul aches at not being able to go to this.

I don’t have the money. Stupid unemployment. But I think it’s an AWESOME idea and I can’t wait to see photos of the night!

Emily

The “missymahoho@gmail.com” made me laugh so hard. Her “dad’s” email address did, too.
All of this sounds like a rad idea, and I wish that I were in NY!

He’s a freakin’ genius. He makes me hate my piano playing abilities because of his damned awesomeness.

Cynthia

Why no Zoe Keating? And I’m not even gonna get into the injustice of the 21+ party thing.
Cry.
I still love you, though, and can’t wait to spend another New Year’s in the city with you.

Betlem aus Barcelona

oohhh i’d really love to be there… i wish i could celebrate new year’s eve TWICE with you! all booze and hangover and booze again and beautiful songs…

belly pride and love and besos

Kabouterprinses

the emailaddresses made me laugh out loud.
o how i wish i was over 21 and in NYC..
or just over 21, i’d be crazy enough to fly in from belgium if i had the money :’)

Love,
Anne

Emma

!8+?! Ah man, that sucks.

demonscars

Anyone sent an e-mail and heard back? I sent mine like 8 hours ago. I’m just wondering if I didn’t get a ticket or if they haven’t sent out any e-mails yet.

Emsy

Haven’t heard anything yet – that’s a relief. Because I might be a little inordinately nervous about this thing.

Kayla

I got my ticket! Planning my flight right now… You have no idea how excited I am for this!!! Hopefully I’ll have a few ukuleles done by the time I fly out so I can show you

Emsy

Got mine too! Hooooly crap I’m excited.

I burn, I ache, I YEARN to go to this, but as is the case every new year’s eve, I am in Florida instead of home in the Northeast.
I would prefer it to be otherwise. Alas.
I would so like to see Emilyn Brodsky and you and the Danger Ensemble, all!

Especially because in a way Emilyn began my emergence from my shell, earlier this summer. She is indirectly the reason I met Kyle Cassidy!

Sierra_Sounds_Like_Sara

Got my ticket! See ya in ’09, I’m so excited to kick off the year in NYC!

i giggled at the sample email.

Sierra_Sounds_Like_Sara

I am selling my ticket to the concert and pre-party. It’s a long story dealing with love and money. If you are interested, please e-mail me at farmermizzou@gmail.com and if you go I expect a detailed account including photo imagery and artistic interpretations.

...i borrowed the above phrase from my friend maria popova's blog (http://www.brainpickings.org - it's awesome)...i think the phrase pretty much explains itself. i put a lot of time and effort into this blog and want you to have it and read it for free. if you want to give me some help for the time and effort, THANK YOU. you can either kick me back directly through paypal using the button below, or if you want to take some MUSIC TOO (even better, yay!) go to the store section and kick me back through paying what you want for an album or a song.
